Most post-apocalyptic movies conjure up images of sawed-off shotguns, stray dogs, and zombies. I Think We're Alone Now shows a very different side to the end of the world.
Directed by Reed Morano of The Handmaid's Tale, the Sundance success stars Peter Dinklage and Elle Fanning—seemingly the last two people on Earth. As Dinklage revels in the peace and quiet in a narrative akin to The Twilight Zone's "Time Enough At Last", Fanning relentlessly pursues their unlikely friendship.
Morano told Entertainment Weekly she was drawn to the unconventional story for its unusual take on the apocalypse theme, adding, "I was looking for something a little bit weird, or just a little bit different tonally."
With 52% on Metacritic and an 82% on Rotten Tomatoes, whether the film is too weird for audiences has yet to be seen.
I Think We're Alone Now hits theaters nationwide September 21.
